Flensburger Winterbock

A strong winter beer launched in late fall 2004, sold from early fall and often sold out before Christmas. Specialty malts and restrained hopping give it a delicate malty note and an orange-gold color. A nose reminiscent of pear, creamy effervescence, warming alcohol notes with a touch of vanilla and marzipan, and a long, lively, gently bitter finish; leaner than many bocks, according to the brewery.
